Submission incomplete:
1: The PP/DOE are requested to explain in the PDD how the project activity qualifies as a small scale project activity and that it is not a de-bundled component of a large scale project activity as per PS version 09.0 paragraphs 99-104.
Specifically, further substantiation is required in the PDD to demonstrate that the project is not a de-bundled component of a large-scale project activity.

2: The PP/DOE are requested to explain in the PDD the methodological choices for the calculation of the baseline, project emissions, leakage and emission reductions as per PS version 09.0 paragraphs 53 and 54.
The PP shall include in the PDD the rationale and assumptions on the calculation of the parameters "Project emissions of methane from anaerobic digesters (PECH4,y)" and "Leakage emissions associated with storage of digestate";

3: The PP/DOE are requested to list and detail in the PDD the data and parameters used to calculate the emission reductions as per PS version 09.0 paragraphs 55-60 and SS version 04.1 section 4.
Specifically, the PP shall explain the rationale of setting the parameters NLT,y and Wsite as default in the PDD, whereas the methodology requires these parameters to be monitored when the option from paragraph 16(a) from the methodology is selected.

4: The PP/DOE are requested to list and detail in the PDD all the data and parameters to be monitored as required by the applied methodology(ies) and/or the selected standardized baseline(s), as per PS version 09.0 paragraph 64.
i) The PDD indicates, on pages 19 and 20, that baseline emissions are calculated based on paragraph 16(a) of the methodology AMS-III.D, however the parameters required to be monitored under this option (such as Nda,y, Wsite and Np) were not included in the monitoring plan.
ii) The monitoring plan does not contain the monitoring provisions of the parameters T (temperature of the biogas) and P (pressure of the biogas)
iii) The monitoring plan does not contain the monitoring provisions of the parameters used to calculate the "Leakage emissions associated with storage of digestate".
iv) The monitoring plan does not contain the monitoring provisions of the parameters MS%l (Fraction of volatile solids handled by storage device l) and AIl (Annual average interval between manure collection and delivery for treatment at a given storage device l), used to calculate the project emissions from storage of manure before being fed into the anaerobic digester.

5: The DOE is requested to explain how the small-scale project activity fulfills the eligibility criteria for a small scale project and confirm that is is not a de-bundled component of a large scale project as per VVS version 09.0 paragraphs 184 and 192.
Specifically, the DOE is required to explain how it has verified that the project activity is not a de-bundled component of a large-scale project activity.

6: The DOE is requested to describe how it has assessed the application of the equations and parameters for the calculation of emission reductions have been correctly applied as per VVS version 09.0 paragraphs 141 and 144 (d) (e).
Specifically, the DOE shall indicate how it has validated:
i) the calculation of leakage, including the methodological choices and assumptions; and
ii) the calculation of the "Project emissions of methane from anaerobic digesters (PECH4,y)", contained in page 26 of the PDD.

7: The DOE is requested to verify the justification and appropriateness of the fixed data and parameters used for the emission reduction calculations as per VVS version 09.0 paragraphs 142 (a), 144 (a) (b) (c) and 145.
Specifically, the DOE is required to explain how it has validated the inclusion of the parameters NLT,y and Wsite in the list of parameters that are fixed through the crediting period, given that baseline emissions are calculated through the approach from paragraph 16(a) from the methodology (as assessed by the DOE when closing CL 02) and these parameters are required to be monitored under this approach.

8: The DOE is requested to describe how it has validated the compliance of the monitoring plan with the applied methodology(ies) and/or standardized baseline(s) as per VVS version 09.0 paragraph 149 (a) (c) and 150 (a), and where applicable SS version 04.1 section 6.
i) The DOE has validated that the baseline emissions are calculated based on paragraph 16(a) of the methodology AMS-III.D, however the parameters required to be monitored under this option (such as NLT,y, Nda,y, Wsite and Np) were not included in the monitoring plan.
ii) The DOE shall validate the reasons for not including the monitoring of the parameters T (temperature of the biogas) and P (pressure of the biogas) in the monitoring plan.
iii) The DOE shall explain why the monitoring provisions of the parameters used to calculate the "Leakage emissions associated with storage of digestate" were not included in the monitoring plan.
iv) The DOE shall explain how it has validated that the exclusion of the monitoring provisions of the parameters MS%l (Fraction of volatile solids handled by storage device l) and AIl (Annual average interval between manure collection and delivery for treatment at a given storage device l), used to calculate the project emissions from storage of manure before being fed into the anaerobic digester, are in compliance with the applicable monitoring methodology and with the monitoring provisions of the applicable tools.
